Are you feeling ok KC?
No worse than normal. Just a bit rushed.
Those hover caption jokes are getting more and more opaque.
“1999 Cricket World Cup, Headingley, 23rd May, 1999, Pakistan beat Australia by 10 runs, Pakistan’s Inzamam Ul Haq is run out for 81 (Photo by Popperfoto/Getty Images)”
I don’t get it.
Two fine examples of comedy here, AP: Australia losing, and an Inzy run-out. I suggest you get out more (exact mode of dismissal can be your choice)
No article about Inzy could be complete without referring to the time whilst fielding in a match at the Toronto Skating and Curling club when he called to the dressing room for his bat in order to wade into the crowd and bludgeon a spectator who had been calling him a fat potato. Reminiscent of Eric Cantona in his pomp.

That All About Cricket article is an extraordinary piece. Part way through you say “Matthew Hayden”, but I can’t find the phrase “pompous oaf” anywhere. Nor “barrel-chested buffoon”, nor indeed “guff-spouting cretin”. All you say is “Matthew Hayden”.
Obviously Matthew Hayden didn’t say he felt like Inzamam-ul-Haq. Obviously Matthew Hayden said that Matthew Hayden channelled the potentiality of performance within a co-binding structure of Inzamam-ul-Haq complexity limitation parameters. But for some reason you chose to simplify that into the English language phrase in the article.
Did it make you feel grubby?
Editors, innit.
One of my more successful little songs had its 25th birthday this week…or its six-and-a-quarter birthday, depending on how pedantic you are about dates.
It was my first ever song to go to Edinburgh, in a show entitled “Whoops, Vicar, Is That Your Dick?” I am forever grateful that I am able to boast that show title as my debut:

The link has the story and the song.
That which has been listened to can never be unheard.
I was so surprised that Daisy would ear fois gras that I had to look up poele. I’m glad i did.
Poêles avec revêtement
La poêle antiadhésive est généralement en aluminium (bon conducteur de chaleur et léger) et recouverte d’un fin film antiadhésif le plus souvent en téflon, en céramique ou plus rarement en carbone amorphe. Cette propriété permet de diminuer l’adhérence des aliments et donc de réduire l’utilisation de matières grasses, mais aussi de simplifier le nettoyage.
Revêtement en téflon
Le premier revêtement antiadhésif et aussi le plus répandu est à base de polytétrafluoroéthylène (PTFE), dont l’un des noms de marque est le téflon, qui a donné « téflon » dans le langage courant3.
Bien que le téflon ait été inventé en 1938 par Roy Plunkett pour DuPont, il aura fallu attendre 1954 pour que l’ingénieur Français Marc Grégoire (conseillé par son épouse Colette) dépose le brevet de la poêle en aluminium recouverte d’un film en téflon. Puis, en 1956, il fonde l’entreprise Tefal (mot-valise de téflon et aluminium) avec Louis Hartmann.
Cependant, en 2005, l’Agence de protection de l’environnement des États-Unis découvre que l’acide perfluorooctanoïque (PFOA), un produit chimique nécessaire à la fabrication du teflon, est cancérigène4. En 2009, l’université de Copenhague découvre que les hommes qui ont du PFOA dans le sang ont plus de risque d’être stériles5. En 2010, une étude montre une corrélation entre l’AFPO et le cholestérol6. En 2011, les Centres pour le contrôle et la prévention des maladies publient que le sang de 98 % des Américains contient du PFOA7. Or, le PFOA peut se retrouver à l’état de traces dans les poêles au téflon. La nourriture serait contaminée lorsque le revêtement est rayé (utilisation de couverts métalliques) ou qu’il est usé (chauffé à plus de 260 °C ou après un nombre important de passages au lave-vaisselle), d’où l’importance de remplacer régulièrement ses poêles.
En conséquence, DuPont annonce en 2006 la suppression du PFOA pour 20158. C’est ce type de risque de contamination qui avait conduit DuPont à ne pas développer d’ustensile en téflon pour le grand public (dégagement de gaz toxique quand le téflon est chauffé à plus de 315 °C9).
Néanmoins, l’Agence française de sécurité sanitaire des aliments considère ce risque comme négligeable10. Aucune trace de PFOA n’aurait été détectée lors de la cuisson avec un échantillon de ce type de poêles11.

Crickey, Rus, are you OK?
It must have taken some trawling through Ogblog to find a fois gras reference in there – thank you for reading.
Not sure I understand the poele reference – my bad I suspect.
It wasn’t very long ago, 27th January 2017 at the Cavendish.
Ah, I see. You clicked through to the Cavendish menu on this page:
http://ianlouisharris.com/2017/01/27/zaha-hadid-early-paintings-and-drawings-serpentine-sackler-gallery-followed-by-dinner-at-35-new-cavendish/
That’s why “poêlé” and even “poele” came up null on on Ogblog search.
Superb attention to detail there, Rus. Also good to see that Escamillo Escapillo and Lavender, of several KC match reports passim, have their devoted followers around here.
I felt that the foie gras stuff was seriously off topic until a tentative connection between lardy Inzy and fat geese popped into my head and then refused to leave.
Yes you were on topic Rus – my bad again.
Meanwhile, in other news, Aussies spinners seem to be making an haute cuisine meal of Indian batsmen; habitually.
Pseud-tastic thread, even by King Cricket standards.
And, as is so often the case, we’ve no real clue what any of you are blathering on about.
